Except for a very few who took lovers after they were widowed you are correct.
Although considering the number of dancing girls they had around I would say it was likely most of the wives had "special friends" Probably even a few sterilized males as well.
As long as you popped out royal children to perpetuate the cycle they were not concerned about where you got your jollies.

I guess that’s true, unless it put the succession in doubt ... which friendships with other women wouldn’t. One reads that the sterilized males weren’t, always, exactly.
